Teromaafan Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Great Lions recovery tonight. There can't be many teams that have had to use a tactical sub and then win by a dozen points. Kennedy seems to be finding form at the right time of the season. Whilst this is team speedway, seven riders per team, tonight is a good example of being there or there abouts come heat 13 if you have a couple of reliable race winners. Hats off to Summers, it's unlikely that Morris would have bettered his return tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan555 Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Poor night for the scorpions no heat leaders turned up which eventually cost us. Must say I was impressed with Connor Mountain as the guest scored a handy return and well earned his place in heat 15 wouldn’t mind him in Scorpions colours in the future ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosh1218 Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Disappointed with the result and the track tonight  ,our heat leaders were off tonight and the track only really had one racing line but we were beaten by the better side and all riders returned to the pits safe ,. Well done to the Lions and Dougy was superb , we go again and need an away win in the next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Lion Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Scunny Dan rather quiet tonight ? Wish I had got a picture of him standing alone in the stand gutted at the loss Sorry to end your home record Godfrey only mentioned it about 15 times during the meeting . Scorpions let down by Ellis & Jorgensen . Only the 2 track pony Lambert & the guest Mountain that made it close . The loss of Palin wasn’t really felt because they scored what Palin would have scored from R/R rides.  Bet you wish you picked Kennedy at the start of the season when you had the chance.  Dan & Joe struggling for speed but hopefully will be back on it tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Monster Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 Dougy looked another class around there last night. Summers was a brilliant guest and Kennedy looked like he enjoyed himself there. Solid performances from Howarth and Andersen. Surprised the twins didn’t score. Big praise to Mountain. Looked great at Scunny. An enjoyable meeting. With a great Leicester win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a feeling Summers will move clubs this winter and be a snip on that average though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bump Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 Enjoyed our visit. Excellent track. Good, fast , close racing, wish Leicester’s circuit would produce more of that but hey-ho. Did chuckle when the announcer said Hans Nielsen was riding in white for the lions in heat 13. Maybe we’ll meet again in the play-offs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we’ll meet again in the play-offs I laughed as well. When you say we'll meet in play-offs, do you mean we're signing Mr Nielsen then? Oh, you mean Scunthorpe. To be honest after three visits there last year and two, already, this season, visits to the EWR are starting to feel like a home meeting now.

Think most of your riders prefer our track to yours too! Bad night for the Scorpions and the track prep was poor and drastically under watered. Well done Lions your gating was better than ours and with no outside line the racing by our usual standards, was pretty average. We are now looking over our shoulders, watching teams below catching up in the league points, our remaining matches look well difficult too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wishing to be argumentative, but the track looked quite wet when we arrived at 6:45. From a recent match report from the Scunthorpe website, we were told the home riders don't like it when it's too wet. Also, I don't think Connor Mountain would agree with your comment regarding the lack of an outside line. He pulled off a decent overtake around the outside as I recall. I do agree, though, that the chasing pack has suddenly looked a lot more menacing. Especially with the set of recent signings that have taken place. Keep plugging away though. We'd quite like you in the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric i Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 The racing was ok probably better than most tracks in the country but we have very high standards at Scunny. I think Ellis and TJ like a bit more grip out wide to be seen at their best but Leicester were the better team and must be hot favourites for the league.

Can confirm I wasn't stood alone, so whoever you are, clearly don't know this living legend I like to believe I am. Man has friends (surprising, I know) Beaten by the better team on the night. No arguments or complaints there, Scunny simply wasn't good enough on the night and quite frankly don't deserve play offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
